I must confess… I could even go as far as to say I need to admit something, to you and to myself. I’m an addict. A junkie. An incorrigible, terrible food fanatic. Over this past Holiday Season, something happened. A HUGE trigger got triggered. A cannonball got fired and I fell off the wagon. Way […]

Ever since I can remember, we’ve been having good ole’ traditional mashed potatoes for Christmas. After all, no Christmas meal can ever be complete without at least some form of potato on the table, now, can it? Or olives, for that matter, but that’s a whole ‘nother story! (My daughter, son and I are real […]

I’ll be very brief tonight guys. To be honest, I’d much rather be in bed right now, and this is so not like me. But you see, I had a gum transplant earlier this week and it seems that my body isn’t all that appreciative… I feel drained and have no energy whatsoever. I think […]

I’m not really inspired tonight guys, to be honest… I spent most of the day cleaning up the house for you see, between my full time job and this blog, the poor thing often gets neglected. All too often, it ends up being last on my to-do list. Baking delicious healthy cakes comes WAY before […]

Life doesn’t get any simpler than this… Simpler or tastier! Seriously, this was one of my mostest bestest favoritest snacks ever. Unfortunately, it was not THE healthiest, but it still beats a lot of other “so called” healthy snacks that are out there… I do have 2 snacks every day, you see, only I don’t […]

Before I left for Cuba, bell peppers were in the prime or their season. Corn, on the other hand, was sort of already heading towards the end of his… Boy, does that ever feel like it was over a thousand years ago. Perhaps even a million. In fact, I don’t think I have quite completely […]

I told you about how I was going to Cuba, right? I just haven’t told you when, because the day I booked my trip and was going to tell you all about it, I got distracted and started talking ranting about other things… Well, let’s put it this way. A week from tomorrow at this […]

I’m not gonna lie to you guys. Chances are, you’re NOT going to like these. Sorry about that… I know, they look good and all, but you’re just not gonna like them. So don’t even bother trying them. In fact, you should probably move on to the next post on your list of blogs to […]

So tonight I was going to tell you about how I couldn’t believe that I was already cooking beets and sweet potatoes and pumpkins and what not, and that I was seriously starting to crave squash and comforting warm dishes. I was going to talk about how summer is already coming go an end… I […]

So this is Labor Day… Some of you might remember that, a few months ago, I had made a pledge that I would be 8 kilos lighter by today. Well… erm… the thing is, you see, in my mind, when I set the date, I’d calculated that it gave me a window of 12 weeks […]

Corn season is here… and is already almost gone! I usually eat TONS of corn when it’s in season, but this year has been very different. I only bought one dozen so far, and might not even buy more. Why? Well, first off, corn, even in its fresh form, happens to be a grain! I […]

I can’t believe I missed my own 500th post. Seriously. This would be post number 501. Yay me! Way to miss an important milestone…This is almost like missing my own birthday. Oh well. Not much I can do about it I guess. I’ll just have to hold the celebration until we get to number 750. […]

While all may appear to be calm on the surface here, I mean, what lies before your eyes is a nice bowl of soup all dressed up in its Sunday best and patiently waiting for its lucky owner to indulge, this photo shoot was in fact a little bit of the crazy kind… Things aren’t […]

There is a story behind this post. It sarted with a single word. Not even a pretty word, at that. In fact, I’d even dare say it’s a very ugly word. One of the ugliest words I’ve ever heard. What’s that word, you ask, that would, in spite of its extreme ugliness, inspire such a […]
